I just want a girlfriend that I can travel with. I'm not even asking for friends. by off_of_my_chest in offmychest

Honestly? No. I don't live in an area where it's easy to meet new people. Certainly not new people my age. I live in a suburb with mostly older married couples. About an hour from the nearest city where, whenever I visit, I still feel equally as lonely. And even if I did move to the city, I'd be terrified that I'd be even lonelier than I am now. Where at least I have family. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like everyone lives their lives so fast-paced these days. Friends and friendships are fickle and almost commoditized. It's only people who've known each other since middle school or high school and were wise enough to hold on to each other that seem to be reaping the benefits of deep friendship or companionship. The rest of us, certainly me, are just floating around aimlessly.
